Submission for the 2025 Holiday Gallery is now open! Send your artwork to autismcentercomms@duke.edu by Friday, December 5 to be included!
Follow these steps to submit artwork:
1. CREATE artwork on white unlined paper. Color or black & white artwork is accepted.
2. Give the artwork a TITLE, which will be used to identify the artwork in the online gallery and on the holiday greeting card, if selected. (If you would like to include the name and age of the artist, please provide this information.)
3. SEND AN IMAGE of the artwork to autismcentercomms@duke.edu. Formats .jpg or .png are preferred. A high-quality, high-resolution scan or digital photo is best.
*Please ensure that only the art is included in the image. No names or other identifying information should be visible in the artwork.*
All artwork shared in the Duke Center for Autism Holiday Art Gallery will include an image of the artwork and the title provided. If provided, the name, age, and diagnosis of the artist may be included. After you submit your artwork, our team will reach out with a release form to confirm what information may be published in connection with the art.
As part of our effort to celebrate neurodiversity, participants have the option of including their first name and/or diagnosis, or self-identifying as a family member of a neurodivergent person. If the artist chooses to provide this information, additional permission will be requested to include this information in the Holiday Greeting Art Gallery or on the center's holiday greeting card, if selected.
**The submission deadline is FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5th.**
The Duke Center for Autism 2024 Holiday Greeting Art Gallery features artwork submitted by individuals and families who chose to participate. The artwork was submitted by individuals of all ages from different backgrounds and identities.
Thank you to all of you who submitted artwork for this year’s Gallery and Contest. We wish everyone a beautiful Holiday season and a prosperous New Year!
Congratulations to Blake, whose artwork, "Chillin' Friends" was selected to illustrate our Duke Center for Autism holiday greeting e-card.
